Do Americans Worship A Disposable Jesus?
Lissa Rankin, May 22, 2011
When news broke of Osama bin Laden's death, we had quite a dialogue going on Owning Pink after I wrote my thoughts in this post (and then this post to follow, about speaking my truth). It got me questioning if the celebration of death and violence is ever good, and wondering what my fave deity Jesus would do.
Turns out that a new survey reveals that Americans -- particularly fundamental Christians -- are a wee bit hypocritical when it comes to certain Biblical teachings, particularly with fuzzy parts that don’t favor revenge or torturing your enemies, like the Golden Rule. According to this survey, 82% of Americans believe bin Laden distorted the teachings of Islam to suit his own purposes, 65% believe the al Qaeda leader is rotting in hell, and 62% think it is wrong to celebrate the death of another human being.
Convenient Christian?

The Goddess of Grief
Danielle LaPorte, March 6, 2011
"Grief can make a liar out of you because there is a disconnect between how you feel, and how you think you're supposed to behave."
This was Maria Shriver's intro to her heart-gripping talk at the 2009 Women's Conference. I stumbled across the live telecast. The topic: Grief, Healing & Resilience. Interesting topic for a conference. That's kind of pushing it, I thought.

Why Accidentally Erasing My Hard Drive Might Be The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me
Kate Northrup Moller, January 25, 2011
A big rockstar welcome to one of our newest bloggers -- the marvelous creative entrepreneur, seeker, and artist, Kate Northup Moller. Read about Kate here and visit her site to follow all of her adventures... Welcome, Kate!
I talk a lot about things happening for a reason, the grand master plan of the Universe, synchronicity, and the overall meant-to-be or not-meant-to-be-ness of life. And it’s pretty easy to stay on my fairy dust and sparkles train when everything is going smoothly, I’m meeting the right people, cash flow is good, and I’m proverbially walking on sunshine.
And then sometimes believing it’s all meant to be is not so easy.

Day of Rebirth
Joy Mazzola, June 8, 2010
Connection
It began with a conversation with a friend over homemade chai. Within minutes we both suddenly understood that everything we’d each been feeling separately over the past several months – all the darkness and confusion and stuckness and fear – have been in service of a much greater joy that that is waiting for us to claim it as our own.

Pinkies, it is my honor to introduce to you (straight from The Pink Community) Kellie Robinson.

Lissa Rankin, April 12, 2010
My daughter came home from school last week, sobbing, because one of the kids in her preschool called her a nerd. While I stroked her hair and wiped her tears, I flashed back 25 years to when I was fifteen. The head cheerleader, who was my secret friend, turned away from me at the lunch table. Standing there, holding my green plastic tray with my soggy hamburger, limp fries, and orange juice, I saw the apology in her cheerleader eyes when she said, “This is not the nerd table.”

"Contemplation" by Kate Long Stevenson
With the endless commercials for depression medications, constant talk of finding our true joy and passion in life, and the ever-so-challenging search for our Mojo, it is easy to get lost in a whirlwind of questions like, "Why am I not happy?" "How do I get to where they are?" and "What is wrong with me?"
